How much Bathroom & Shower foam should I use?Updated 11 days ago

TL;DR: Bathroom & Shower Cleaner is not a concentrate. Pour it straight from the 1.8L bag-in-box into the Foaming Spray Bottle as it comes. No measuring, no diluting, no mixing. For a light clean, spray two foam lines in a criss-cross pattern across the surface. For heavy build-up, add two diagonal lines to make a star. Let the foam dwell, then wipe and rinse. More foam does not mean a better clean, it just means more rinsing.

How much Bathroom & Shower foam should I use?

Two foam lines in a criss-cross pattern, one horizontal and one vertical across the surface, is enough for light to moderate soap scum and bathroom grime. For heavy build-up, add two diagonal lines to create a star pattern. Do not drown the surface, because more foam does not mean a better clean, it just means more rinsing. Let the foam dwell for a few minutes so the formula can break down the grime, then wipe with the Ultra Pro Bathroom Mitt and rinse.

✓ Light to moderate clean

Two foam lines in a criss-cross pattern, one horizontal along the surface and one vertical. Let it dwell, wipe, rinse. That is enough for everyday soap scum and bathroom grime.

2 foam lines Criss-cross

✓ Heavy build-up

Add two diagonal lines to make a star pattern. More coverage, longer dwell of up to ten minutes, then scrub with the Ultra Pro Bathroom Mitt.

Is Bathroom & Shower Cleaner a concentrate?

No. Bathroom and Shower Cleaner is a ready-to-use formula. It ships in a 1.8L bag-in-box: a cardboard outer with a flexible bladder inside. Pour it directly into the Foaming Spray Bottle as it comes from the box. Adding water dilutes the formula and reduces cleaning performance. Do not mix it with other products either, because combining cleaners can deactivate ingredients or cause unwanted reactions.

⚠ Ready to use, do not dilute

Pour straight into the Foaming Spray Bottle. No water, and no mixing with other products. The formula is designed to work at the strength it ships in the box, and combining cleaners can deactivate ingredients or cause unwanted reactions.

Not a concentrate No diluting No mixing

How do I fill the Foaming Spray Bottle?

Open the spout on the bag-in-box and dispense directly into the Foaming Spray Bottle. Fill to just below the shoulder of the bottle, leaving a small air gap so the foamer mechanism can operate properly. Screw the foaming head back on firmly and close the spout on the box. The 1.8L pack fills the foaming bottle roughly four times, and lasts around six months in an average home.

✓ Fill it in three steps

1

Open the spout. Pull the spout on the 1.8L box forward. Unscrew the Foaming Spray Bottle head.

2

Pour directly. Fill to just below the shoulder of the bottle. Leave a small air gap so the foamer can work.

3

Screw the head back on. Firmly. Close the spout on the box. Ready to spray.

✓ How far one pack goes

The 1.8L pack fills the Foaming Spray Bottle roughly four times, and lasts around six months in an average home. Heavier or larger bathrooms will get through it faster.

How long should the foam dwell?

A few minutes for weekly maintenance, around two to three minutes. Up to five minutes for moderate soap scum. Up to ten minutes for heavy build-up or limescale. A longer dwell gives the formula more time to break the film down, which means less scrubbing for you. Do not let the foam dry out on the surface though, because dried product is harder to rinse away than wet foam. If it starts to dry before you get back to it, re-spray rather than scrubbing dry.

✓ Dwell times

Two to three minutes for weekly maintenance. Up to five minutes for moderate soap scum. Up to ten minutes for heavy build-up or limescale. Longer dwell means less scrubbing. Do not let the foam dry out on the surface, and re-spray rather than scrubbing dry if it does.
